2012 Travel Breaks

Are you looking for a meaningful travel experience in 2012? Or maybe you and some friends are thinking about trying something different this year? With the holidays just around the corner you might be thinking about a last minute get away but need some inspiration?

One World 365 can help you arrange a meaningful, memorable and rewarding festive holiday travel experience...

Be part of a team and give something back by joining a volunteer project. A wide variety of activity based placements accept volunteers for short durations. Animal / Marine life volunteer projects and conservation groups have programes where travellers can learn more about wildlife, endangered or exotic species in their native habitats. Community projects are also a great way to meet interesting people and learn about a new culture.

There is still availability for paid working holiday programs, a popular destination is the Southern hemisphere where you can get away from the cold winter weather in Europe / North America. A number of companies arrange paid work placements in Australia where you could spend Christmas day on a white sandy beach then bring in the New Year with a spectacular fireworks display over the Sydney Harbour Bridge!

If you’re young, enjoy skiing and snowboarding and open to working abroad, Canada might be your ideal winter holiday destination. On a ski resort work placement you could spend time off hitting the slopes. Arrange your working holiday visa and placement in advance and enjoy a fantastic experience working at a ski resort in the Rockies.

Teachers looking for a constructive way to spend the holidays could travel to Central / South America to assist on volunteer teaching programs, a rewarding way to enhance a CV and make new friends. Many travellers choose to gain additional skills by taking a course and learning Spanish at a language school. Others take dance or music classes in one of the famous latin styles and spend fabulous nights dancing the rumba, salsa, tango or samba.

The holidays are a great time to be with friends and a popular getaway option is to celebrate the festive season with a group tour. Places are limited now, but places are still available so book quick! Tour options are available worldwide, you just need to decide your destination and persuede your friends!
